Installs Visual Studio Code for Linux.

This will default to the code-oss package when executed on Kali. On all other distros it will use the Microsoft package feed as its source to install code.

Tested on Ubuntu, Kali, Fedora.

Requirements

A supported distribution. Most Debian and RedHat family OS's are supported.

IMPORTANT: On recent versions of Fedora, sysmonforlinux and powershell are not available through Microsoft's feed for Fedora.
